Assessment of the Content of Plastic Inclusions in PET Food
Summary
Researchers assessed microplastic contamination in commercial wet pet foods sold in pouch packaging from well-known brands, comparing them to a laboratory-prepared sample made without contact with polymeric materials. The study found microplastics in all commercial samples regardless of price point, while the laboratory control contained 2.3-4.4 times fewer microplastic particles, implicating packaging and processing as contamination sources.
Исследование выявило загрязнение микропластиком влажных кормов для животных в пауч-упаковках. Были изучены корма известных брендов и лабораторный образец, изготовленный без контакта с полимерами. Микропластик обнаружен во всех образцах независимо от стоимости, однако лабораторный образец содержал в 2.3-4.4 раза меньше микропластика. The study revealed microplastic contamination of wet animal feed in spider packages. Well-known brand feeds and a laboratory sample made without contact with polymers were studied. Microplastic was found in all samples, regardless of cost, but the laboratory sample contained 2.3- 4.4 times less microplastic.
